This i believe:
That there was a time when men were men. When you could go to a barber and get a five dollar haircut and good company. When you could trust someone when they gave you their word. When if someone said something you didn't like you could punch them in the face without getting sued. I believe that people have given up on fighting for things like honor and freedom and dying for the love of their woman. I believe that we can learn from the past because history is bound to repeat itself, and that progress stopped somewhere in the last forty years. I believe that even if the world turns into some 1984ish horrible hellhole that as long as men die, freedom never will. That personal freedom begins with economic freedom. I believe that you can judge a person's worth by how they treat their mother. That ninety percent of my problems have been my fault. That the thing that happens while you're listening to a song and makes you laugh or cry really is magic. That I'll beat up the first person who breaks my sister's heart even though we fight all the time. That old people are the best people. That noone will ever be cooler than Clint Eastwood. I believe that noone can ever ever ever change what you think without your permission, they can change how you act, and how you dress, and how you behave, but noone can ever make you love them, and noone can ever make you respect them without you choosing to on your own. I wish that i believed in altruism, but i don't.
word!
